The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Someone dragged him aside, quickly took off his clothes and put them on himself, and picked up the torch on the ground.

After a while, another guard saw that his companion who had just inspected the situation was late.

"Why have you been here for so long? What happened just now?" the guard asked.

The companion who came back shook his head and yawned.

"Be careful, if someone finds you dozing off at night, you and I will have nothing to eat." The guard said angrily.

The companion who came back lazily poked the torch forward, only a faint flame fell on his face, and he couldn't see clearly.

The guard was chattering, suddenly felt something was wrong, and turned his head suddenly: "No! You are not..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

There was a sharp knife stuck in his belly, and the stranger was wearing their companion's clothes, looking at him expressionlessly.

The guard struggled to get out the signal fire in his arms, but before he could get it out, he snatched it away with one hand.

Then, he saw from a distance around the dark reservoir, many black shadows appeared like gods and ghosts, like a big net that had been woven long ago, approaching the reservoir silently.

There was a muffled sound of fighting in the darkness.

That night, someone went out in military uniform and led three hundred elite soldiers to ambush Bochang. It was a one-sided massacre, with swords falling and blood flowing.

This night, someone slept soundly and peacefully. In the warm and exquisite mansion, the fragrance of smoke wafted up, and they had a good night's sleep.

That night, countless shadows sneaked into the houses of the people in the Bochang Reservoir, and the people moved overnight.

That night, in the courtyard of the deep house, the yellow-robed monk closed his eyes and chanted scriptures, practicing Zen in silence all night.

At night, the breeze is swaying, the rain is thick and silky, and it is lingering. Some people have good dreams, and some people have no sleep.

Then, at dawn on the second day, a loud noise came from far in the east, waking up the sleeping capital.

...

The rainwater is almost pouring down the whole basin.

Bochang Reservoir slammed, and the entire embankment collapsed from the middle, like a fragile sheet. The accumulated water mixed with rainwater rumbled out, forming a vast ocean in an instant, engulfing countless houses downstream in the blink of an eye.

Like a thunder, the news of the collapse of the Bochang Reservoir spread throughout the capital in an instant. The overflowing rainwater not only spread to the downstream, but also affected places with slightly lower terrain.

When the news came, Jiang Ruan was eating hibiscus steamed cake in the house.

Didn't eat the hibiscus steamed cake last night. Although it was a bit cold this morning, it was delicious when served with hot tea.

Jiang Xinzhi's body was drenched from the rain, Fang changed into clean clothes, his hair was not dry yet, once he entered Jiang Ruan's room, he saw her like this and said: "How do you eat cold food, be careful of cold stomach."

Jiang Ruan smiled at him: "Nothing."

Jiang Xinzhi sat down opposite her and said with a smile: "The matter has been settled, and the people have all moved to Dongpo Mountain, where the terrain is high and there will be no trouble."

Jiang Ruan nodded, seeing Jiang Xinzhi hesitated a little, and asked, "What happened?" Jiang Xinzhi didn't hide from her, and said: "When I was with my cousin last night, the general also arrived, and he didn't ask me to transfer troops privately." I brought some people to help me." He frowned: "Those people are not like soldiers, they are very skilled in handling corpses, like special killers." Realizing that they should not say these things in front of Jiang Ruan Bloody things, he said: "Ah Ruan, you don't need to pay attention to these things."

"Since General Guan helped you, he has his reasons. If he doesn't take the initiative to ask, you don't need to worry about it." Although Jiang Ruan didn't understand what Guan Lianghan meant, but there were more important things to do right now.

"Brother, if it's convenient, help me find some trustworthy people and let them spread this sentence in the market." Jiang Ruan handed the note in his hand to Jiang Xinzhi.

Jiang Xinzhi took it in doubt, and was stunned when he saw it. He thought for a while and said, "Ah Ruan, what did the Li family do to you?"

He originally thought that Jiang Ruan asked him to do this series of things just to support the Zhao family, and even further, to cut Ye Li's power and make him lose his vitality in a short time. But now it seems that all of Jiang Ruan's spearheads are directed at the Prime Minister's Mansion. The more he thought about it, the more frightening he was, he was horrified, and then he thought about it, it must be something that the prime minister's mansion did to Jiang Ruan, otherwise why would there be such a deep hatred?

Since he came back to Jiang Mansion, although he asked about Jiang Ruan's affairs, everyone in Jiang Mansion kept silent, and the maids and mother-in-law didn't know much about many things, let alone explain them clearly.

Jiang Ruan said indifferently: "Li Yang wanted to treat me lightly, so I castrated him. The Li family hated me to the bone. If he was alive, he would become my enemy sooner or later. Either he dies or I die. If we don't destroy the whole family of the Li family , I can't feel at ease." She said it lightly, but Jiang Xinzhi's thoughts changed sharply. He was extremely surprised at first, and then clenched his fists tightly: "It's too much to bully!"

He put the note into his arms: "Leave this matter to me." He looked at Jiang Ruan and said, "Ah Ruan, if elder brother came back one day earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer such humiliation."

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Nothing."

Insults are not terrible, what's terrible is that you don't know it when you are humiliated, you will never have a chance to stand up, and you will live your life miserable. Just like her previous life.

Jiang Xinzhi strode out the door.

...

At the Eighth Prince's Mansion, Ye Li ruthlessly smashed the nine-dragon-patterned glazed teacup in front of him. The teacup fell to the ground and splashed crystal shards. His muscles tensed up, and the gentle look on his face was wiped away. Light, replaced by anger engraved in the bone marrow.

"What's going on? Didn't it mean that the embankment had no problems? How could it collapse if there were no problems?" He slapped the booklet in his hand on the nearest staff member.

The staff didn't dare to show their air. It was the first time that the always gentle Eighth Prince lost his temper with the staff. He has always controlled his emotions very well. Even if he hated his heart, he could still smile like a spring breeze to the enemy.

No one knew the annoyance in Ye Li's heart at this moment.

Why is this time!

Now that his meritorious deeds are about to be perfected, he has a reputation among the common people, and the emperor favors him, as long as this meritorious service is added, the direction of the wind will become more obvious, and most of the courtiers will naturally follow him in a timely manner. , with more manpower in hand, the chips will be heavier in the future.

These days, he has devoted himself to the matter of the reservoir, thinking that nothing will go wrong, but at this time, he has fallen short!

Ye Li has always been a person who is unwilling to admit defeat, and this time something like this happened. It was as if he had been slapped in the face under the eyes of everyone. On the surface, he was gentle, but in reality he was arrogant. How could he tolerate this failure!

He was furious: "Call me Li An!" Suddenly he remembered something, and said: "Find some people to guard that monk and bring him here."

The subordinates took orders to leave.
